Wedding Plans



So, with a little over 2 months before the big day I am officially starting to get overwhelmed with the super long to-do list. Not to mention that we have to go and meet with all of the vendors in order to finalize plans and this is going to include A LOT of decision making. I'm terrible at making decisions, so this will be a true test. I'm hoping that, if anything, the whole experience will enhance my decision making capabilities. First we meet with the florist. While we have already discussed the colors and some of the flowers we will be using we have to figure out exactly what we want. Here is my inspiration, let me know if you have any ideas!!!

This is all I have right now but I really need to get some more ideas for centerpieces and the bridal bouquet. I also need to get some cute ideas for a flower girl basket! Some day all of these decisions will be made :)

10 of my favorite things that begin with the letter "f"....

I received my letter from Pamela. If you are interested in this little activity, then message me and I'll send you a letter as well.
10 of my favorite things that begin with the letter "f":








1. Family "In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future." - Alex Haley







2. Friends I can't even begin to explain how dear I hold all of my friends so close to my heart. They are the greatest!







3. Flowers Who doesn't love fresh flowers. They make a room! I am so excited for the upcoming flower arranging class at Pottery Barn. Check to see if there is one at a store near you.




4. Fried Food I wish it weren't true but I'm obsessed. I have tried so hard to not like it and ban it from life but it's just not in the cards for me.




5. Family Ties I watch it every night before bed(with the exception of Sunday, it's not on-boo!)



6. "Fix You" - Coldplay This song has A LOT of special meaning to me!




7. Finger Foods It wouldn't take me so long to order off of menus if I could have a little bit of everything.



8. French Manicures I'm getting one this week....... YAY!!!!


9. Flip Flops I don't think I could live without.



10. FROSTIES!!!!!!!!!!!! Yum..................



The Big Leap

It's the big day! I went ahead and took the plunge and created my very own blog. I am so BIG TIME now. While it will probably take me awhile to get used to, I have no doubt I'll be able to get through this life changing hurdle with flying colors. I'm not real sure what the purpose of my blog is going to be. Does there really need to be one specific reason you are blogging? I certaintly don't think so.
You know when you happen to stumble upon a new little bakery that has the best "everything" bagels and coffee and the cheeriest staff. Or when you create the perfect dish that everyone thinks must take hours to prepare when in reality only takes about 10 minutes. Or when your favorite clothing store is having the mega sale of the year. Sometimes you just want to tell someone about it. I'm constantly seeking new little ways to improve my quality of life. I'm a big fan of the simple things. Whether it's that new hand soap you bought that you like so much you decided to write a letter to costco asking them to start carrying it because you know you are going to be buying in bulk or when you find that perfect walking trail that doesn't make you look at your watch every five minutes wondering when you get to go home and sit on the couch. Through blogging, I am hoping that I can share those simple things with you and make a difference in someone elses day, as well as, take some of your favorite things and better mine.
So here we go...............
